This is the actual amount stuff costs when not using babies to assemble.

I’m cool with it

I'm sure economies of scale would bring down the price somewhat if the majority of the industry's manufacturing was done in developed countries.

You're convinced that assembly in the US doesn't involve babies?

I couldn’t possibly begin to disprove or prove that.

What I can say is we have decently strong childhood labor laws which other developing countries do not, and that fact is exploited to drive down costs and increase profits.
